We are so happy as always to sponsor and episode of 40k in 40 minutes. This episode is so special for us, with huge Kickstarter campaign. Thanks as always team, it's an amazing episode!
You have a brand-new customer. This is exactly what I need for my diorama I want to do. The effects really add to the game and atmosphere.
@@gfanikf So glad you like it! We are really happy with the end result.
I was about to ask about all the weapon effect prints, then I saw you comment, klicked on the link and got my answer.
Imo this post should be pinned.

Sponsor you mean?
That Vanquisher tank crew needs a visit from the Inquisition cause those misses were downright HERETICAL. Someone get Asmodai over here as well!
its like that whole platoon is at the shooting range and an entire horizon of bullets just cause a huge plume of dust and when it settles, not 1 target was hit, and you see Gaurd Nick with his commissar hat on and an eye patch, yelling at his men "come onnnn, the target is right in front of you!!" and he lines up a tank point blank range and it fires and still misses
The absolute despair on nicks face as the tank fails to hit literally every shot is almost comical
INTERROGATE!?
@@blackgem12 Our assumptions are confirmed! WHAT! He has a suspicious book! BOOK! He's in cahoots with the Fallen! FALLEN! Make him REPENT! REPEEEEEEEEENT! (TTS: Episode 28 @31:06) (Yes, I know this comment and video is "old", but I can't help myself.)
Inquisitor Walks up to the Vindicator crew, Plasma Pistol in hand: "You have failed your emperor for the last time. . ." *que plasma blasts and screaming as executions are carried out*
Nick has learned the lesson all Guard commanders do at some point: the Vanquisher will always betray you.
its like the Ironclad for the Kharadron Overlords in sigmar, the biggest most badass guns always get out rolled by the gun butts in melee that do nothing
That’s why I picked Demolisher cannon. I couldn’t take that kind of betrayal.
Sure Vanquisher isn't reliable but it's cool and super fun when you hit and opponent ask how much damage? It's D6+6 and he just start sweating.
The Vanquisher missing all those shots hurts my soul.
Imagine how much damage he would have done if he'd just brought a normal cannon or plasma.
This is why the Lemans I've had in the past were packing Battle Cannons even though they had Vanquisher barrels. Vanquishers kinda suck.
It's better to make the vanquishers normal tanks instead of TCs, but even a reroll 1 order wouldn't have helped Nick this game. On average, he should have hit more than 2 times in 3 turns, and in that case the Vanquishers are absolutely devastating.
It shouldn’t have missed when hitting on threes because it has the turret keyword I believe
@@mreed7995 unless something got -1 or in some cases, he was rolling 1s and 2s XD
Khorne approves of the skulls that were reaped on this battlefield!!! Amazing game and always an absolute pleasure to battle Nick. Play On is by far the titans of the t-shirt companies. I'd wear most shirts they make.
Dave it was a pleasure as always. Go check these guys out if you haven’t!
Destroy the chaos FILTH!!!
It was boring and one sided. we like close games, not this.
@@midwesternexplorer9339 Well, doesnt that just HAPPEN sometimes? If they magically made every game a close game, that would mean they were scripted... I'm sad chaos won in universe, and it was one sided, but the effort put into production, painting, table making and more should make up for a not edge of your seat game EVERY time right?
@@TFZ. Im not asking them to fix a game. I am merely stating my opinion. It was "Not fun" to watch for me. It was one sided. the production was fine, but it was very much like every other game. "OH NO I MISSED! Followed by bad acting. Rinse and repeat. Again, im not asking for anything. Just stating that it was not an amazing match to watch.
This makes me so sad to see this guard unable to kill anything...
Thematic
That's pretty much how guard plays. You're good at nothing. There's supposed to be a lot of you, but given the point costs usually there isn't. You kinda just are.
Makes me more upset that we waited almost three years for a rather “meh” codex
@@greggillespie8259 I think that this was a rather meh written list and played fairly poorly. Instead of the Deathstrike, a Basilisk or Manticore would have been more useful. More leman russ tanks would have made more of a difference, compared to 80 guardsmen and 2 Chimeras and the only time we saw the Sentinel, was when it got destroyed in close combat, so I reckon it didn't really contribute either.
No offense to Nick, he was really unlucky with his rolls, but guard need volume of fire, especially from tanks and artillery, not lasguns.
Not a great list and awful rolls.
Nick : Can you break through the 70-80 bodies ?
Dave : The sea of bodies ?
Corvus : THE WALL OF GUNS !!!!!
Classic
Wall of guns couldn't hit the broadside of a barn this game
Nick "cadia stands, forever"
Dave "no it doesnt"
Why was it so easy to picture an annoyed chaos marines all like "for the love of slaanesh, cadia is gone" 🤣
It is easy to picture
JT: Is Chaos bad?
Me (a loyal servant of the Emperor): Yes Commisar, this man right here.
Is this the start of more guard on the channel? Nick rolling Russes around does indeed put a smile on my face!
Ah the prophecy of "Guard-Nick" will finally be fullfilled.
Haha I knew it!
hope so. 🤞
"Enemies of the Imperium, hear me. You have come here to die. The Immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible. His soldiers will strike you down. His war machines will crush you under their treads. His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you. You cannot win. The Emperor has given us his greatest weapon to wield. So make yourselves ready. We are the Cadian Shock Troopers, and today is our Victory Day."
So hyped for this one
Abaddon: "Nah."
But have you heard of "moon-sized projectile"
@@foster1748 the 40k version of rage quitting
@@TheIronMarshall the 40K version of disrespect, didn’t even want it anymore and said no one could have it
Khorne: fling Angron at em!!!
You know, it's hard to show off the new stuff when you can't hit to save your life, literally.
Excellent battrep as always, and it's always fun to see some of my favorite channels colab, especially when it's Dave and Nick
i like how this channel feels, you genuinely feel a hospitality with these players of Playon tabletop, more collabs with other youtubers would be great, its a needle in a haystack finding opponents like Nick and Dave who can match eachother's energy and humor.
Despite how good the new guard codex is and how good of a general Nick is, there isn't anything that can change the luck of the dice
This is what happens when you let a gue’la traitor general the imperium’s finest. His commissar should have executed him after that turn 1 rhino debacle.
i have a theory, and just bare with me now, it may take alot of effort, but painting over the 1's and 6's and switching them, maybe you will roll the same and still get abunch of ones, isnt that how reality goes!! but i think this may work for symbol dice that lean towards 1's
That's brilliant!
And a bad list + questionable decisions.
Having just witnessed Nicks first round, I kind of feel like the end result of defeat is inevitable.
Yeah, you just identified the biggest problem with this game. There is no coming back after doing ZERO damage on your first turn. Or second...
i know, check those dice! lol
I think there are games where you just acknowledge that the dice have gone so poorly against one player in round one, that it would be more fun for the unfortunate player to just declare a forfeit at end of that round and request a re-match.
They do tend to concede games at Play On Tabletop but only at Round 5+ once victory is impossible based on available points to be scored.
Hopefully Nick learned his lesson to not waste your tanks doing something like charging a lord discordant to save some guardsmen
If I hadn’t he would have heroically intervened. Sadly.
@@PlayOnTabletop Understandable, have a nice day
A vanquisher should always have the Commandeer tank ace with the sharpshooters trait for that guaranteed reroll to hit. 3+ rerollable is about a 88% chance of hit.
Next time you bet.
yeh that trait is insane
I would never make my Vanquisher a TC. It would be better to have 1 to 3 Vanquisher(s) accompanied by a normal leman russ Tank Commander. 3 vanquishers with reroll 1 to hit will be devastating.
@@michaelritzen8138 you aren't listening. I said tank ace, not tank commander. Commandeer is one of the tank ace traits.
@@coldsteel.and.courage yes, and I rebutted that, having a vanquisher, not as a tank commander, and therefor without the tankace will also get reroll ones if a tank commander is nearby. In the example of this game, I would have made the punisher the tank commander to buff the vanquisher. This is assuming that Nick didn't have points to spare for a tank ace.
CADIA BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD! This looks awesome, can't wait!
the sheer might of this intro, i felt the gaurd really never gave up, and everyone else is running away but Cadia stays!!! Cadia Stands!!!
i love how they go for the handshake, mess it up and then both mutually agree to go again
Love the effect of the Deathstrike taking off 👌
I like the little Easter egg of the Sentinel looting that Defiler arm.
Dave's manic laughter is amazing. Pure Chaos.
The happy energy of this episode is infectious. Thanks Play On, Greatest content creator EVER
Sometimes I have trouble paying attention through the whole video but MAN this was a winner. The table effects were amazing, the sponsor looks sick and I'm definitely investing, and fuckin' Dave man! What a radical dude! I need him and Nick going against each other every week. The chemistry is undeniable.
Nick and Dave, narrated by JT. What more can you ask for?
Perhaps a Nick and Mr. Initiative vs Dave and Tyko battle report
Tyranids, you can always ask for tyranids
Better dice rolls, apparently.
@@zachwiseman9635 Now that is proper banger, mate.
@@mr.revrac5602 You write Tau very weird mate :D
I did not even finish the video yet but I really like seeing all of the different flavors of infantry in one video.
I’ve never seen smokescreen be that effective
Or humorous
Love this energy, been in the fence for backing for more content and support you guys and this has pushed me over! Such a good Battlereport and that board is *chef kiss*
6:08 I can hear tak's rage at that line, 6:16 and that rage turns to laughter. 8:21 Drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword.
Thank you so much for making this. This has to be the best Warhammer 40k ever made! All the other Battle Report videos are boring and nerdy but you guys make it look exiting like it actually it is!
Noticed that awesome camerawork in the intro, you guys always manage to keep stepping it up! Great job!
When the "very bad mini" is far better than anything you will ever paint
I love these eps with Dave! The chemistry is perfect! Also, JT's commentating is always top shelf
Dave forgot so many rules for his CSM….. and he still wiped the floor with this imperial dog! The gods have truly blessed him!
Story of my life lol
This was legit one of the best ones yet. The intro got me hype and the content followed through. On God this is 40k goat edition
Loving the way you film these reports, always mad engaging! Please keep it coming!
This vainquisher reminded me of 4/5th ed times where i had my hammerhead continuously whiff on a few games. 1 shot death gun on a 4+ to hit can be rough
This was a GREAT game. I loved both of their energy’s, especially how much of a good sport Nick is with those rolls. Play on!
What a table, what a trailer and great players! Love it!
(Dead Cadian and Ork on the tower, nice details!)
"Is chaos bad?" As they pan to the miniatures with heads on their armor.
super cool battle report as always. even as a non-active player it's a lot of fun to watch you. the board and the units always look great, the music rocks and you can feel your energy through the screen.
It was fun to see the defilers weapon on the sentinel, this game had a lot of energy and was very enjoyable as usual. Keep of the great work guys!
Tau’tal Nickall vs MWG Dave!!! Loved the energy these two bring to the table
Tau nick wasn’t in this one, but Guard Nick
Your production quality is off the hook! And great content!
dudes first model and his idea of "bad" is better than anything i've ever painted lol
Your production value just keeps getting better!!!
Amazing batrep! The energy is off the charts!
Cheers to Nick for being such a good sport when he really could have been rightfully salty. Any chance we can get an Elves vs Dwarves 40k battle soon?
As a non-playing Imperial Guards fan, I'm always happy to see them show up. That said, those tank crews have earned summary executions for all those missed rolls and re-rolls that hurt me on a spiritual level.
It feels like the Deathstrike was the most effective unit, entirely as a deterrent, despite it failing to kill any heretics. All in all, feels like a pretty accurate re-enactment of Cadia, despite not having read the lore for it yet.
Definitely feels like one of the many battles that took place on Cadia in the desperate fight to hold back the enemy until the pylons were activated. It felt like a broken Trench Line with mixed Cadian and Krieg soldiers in the fight as if their regiments got scattered by earlier attacks and they're defending with whoever was available here.
Love the new deployment effects you guys put!
I'm sure everyone can agree these videos have amazing production quality, but it's the energy and personality that makes them so much more fun and engaging to watch compared to usual Battle Reports. The best part about PlayOn is also it's unique aspects: it has a lot of heart, care taken into the editing, presentation, to make it as grandiose as the universe it's adapting. I'll admit, I'll skip over a battle report if I'm not really fond of the people playing in it on here.
So I think everyone can coequally agree that these two have such amazing chemistry. Nick was in the very first PlayOn video I watched, and his energy is perfectly matched with Dave, they're such a blast to watch. Probably one of my favorite battle reports on this channel, enough to inspire me to write this comment. Keep doing what you're doing, I'd love to see more of these two!
25:10 Ah yes, the Tervigon, the secret weapon that the Black Legion have in store. The bomb they'll drop on Cadia itself!
Absolutely beautiful performance. Despite me being new, this battle really showed me what it's like to play Black Legion. Don't stop making 40k in 40 minutes. Love it!
It's great seeing the new codex being just as useful as the last codex
The codex is fine, there was just a string of bad luck and some fairly questionable game choices going around. The new book is a massive improvement.
Yep, GW being shi t as always in the crafting and balance processes. This in combination with sacrificing White Shields and Veterans. Gonna pirate this codex since GW refuses to even playtest thier shit.
@@damightystevo Just wait until AoC and the indirect fire exemption go away, Guard will be back in trash tier
Is so shitty that other you tubers like SN and Skari actually won with it 😂
@@mattmorrill8547 I haven't been playing Guard with AOC and the games go very well
Lovely gaming board here - the terrain you guys set up is really something else.
This was actually really fun! You guys made a fan!
It would've been pretty funny if they had a Trazyn the Infinite miniature in the background just lurking about
Oh I totally should have!
Sir Nick, you are truly blessed.....
By Steve dice rolls.
Great battle report as always.
The single legionnaire actually carrying the victory of Cadia on his back and his back ALONE
So awesome to see defiee on the field! Hope he makes another appearance!
Chaos be celebrating this until a huge Emo Space Fortress blasts the whole damm planet seconds after...
Beginning of the game, Nick spreads his orders to his infantry units like a chain (from one to the next then to the next, then to the next, etc), when they don't work that way; you order a unit and it can spread to other units within 6" of the first unit.
He might have been able to get the first couple squads but that last squad or so would have been out of range.
Hmm. I think you may be right! I read it different. Thanks!
I love this battle so much! Great players and fun armies. :)
Those effects part on the tanks look fantastic
2 minutes until Cadia falls again. Love it!
I feel mass enjoyment seeing the great Chaos Lord Dave laughing like a maniac.
“CADIA STANSS FOREVER!” “NO IT DOESNT!” 😂😂😂 I love these guys
Great Game, always love to see Dave especially with Black Legion because Black Legion is da best.
Mind you, I feel like I have seen Dave on this channel more than MWG, did he move out west? XD
Absolutely insane!!! Amazing video with all of those FX , and WHAT A SHITTY Vanquisher!!!! :DDDDD
Thanks for bringing the GW chaos mini's to the table this time, love seeing my little guys on the battlefield. DEATH TO THE CORPSE EMPEROR 🔥🤟💀🤟🔥
The real MVP is Steve who touched Nick's dice
Turn 1 is the best argument for templates to return that I've seen.
The leman russ vanquisher has had this problem for as long as I can remember. It’s got a great cannon, but good luck hitting on a 4+.
All these explosion effects are really cool, and makes the board feel that much more alive and chaotic. I love it! But I fear it'd be too confusing to play on too.
Cant describe how happy i am finally seeing my personall army of choice on the channel finally.
“I’d rather bring all the guns all the time” is the most guardsmen thing I’ve ever heard
Defi reminds me of my first chaos painted minis (Chaos chosen) I pained 10 years ago and haven't played with since. Mine aren't painted too good, but the paint is not thick, so I am gonna go back and add some shades and highlights to really bring it closer to my standard of painting today
Man was so happy to see defy I loved that show Dave did with the dumb marines was always a laugh
Great Video, i often only watch the first part of your Battle reps just to check out the armies as i don't play currently but this was compelling viewing. I think the obvious thing here was Nick's horrible luck, hard to focus on a comeback when your heavy hitters let you down.
I love the lit up explosion clouds. 😮
I gotta say I think this is the best intro to date
wow these new 3d animations are next level!
In my head. This battle is where castellan bought the evacuating troops, templars, and astartes time, to get off the planet.
Defiant to the last. Cadia Stands!
Seems like if you're not using "Born Solders" battle trait for Guard you are almost playing them on hard mode. great bat rep.
Tonite on POT Gear: Dave dabbles in some Erebussy type shenanigans, Nick commits large amounts of war crimes using unauthorised deathstrikes and Tycho becomes a ethereal beard like being that sees all
Still not funny.
@@tiberiumnp8030 in your opinion
i thought the beard part was funny, like maybe Tycho becomes a lord of change, and his beard has a million eye balls
We have not had a battle with Black templars for ages! I would love to see this special chapter come up against a Xenos army or other
This is an amazing batrep. Me and my fiance play One Page Rules and I'm curious how it would have gone there 🤔 might have to see...
Good job as always guys!
The concept of a CSM dying to a guardsmen in close combat is so funny. Imagine surviving a millenia of war post the Horus Heresy for a lowly guardsmens lasgun bayonet to end you
You should make a side series where you invite TH-cam gamers and other TH-camrs who never played warhammer but are interested and teach them how to play! I think it would be a great addition to this channel idk I figured I should at least throw this comment out there i commonly watch you on my other acc anyway love what y’all do and you got me and 4 friends into this hobby thank you keep up the amazing work
Looks freakijg awesome, i cant waitt
Love this channel 👍🏻
“Is chaos even bad, I don’t even know.”
Knock knock it’s the inquisition
Played my first battle with the new Astra codex today. Been so hyped, astra is my big "love", i could sell all other armies but never my guard. Was so excited! But, every step of the way i just got more and more dissapointed. (played without the balance dataslate rules). Just kept on comming into cases where i thougt, well, if that was the old codex my unit would be alive now. If that was the old codex that enemy unit would be dead now. etc etc... Artillery cant hit anything, vehicles are once again back to being squishy without AoC, infantry became more expensive. Guess i just have to give it a few more games, but the first game really put me down
Similar experience playing my Guard tonight... jusy felt like an uphill battle against other 9th codex
Did guard lose armor of contempt?
@@dragma907 i wouldn't play them without AoC.... AoC and no LOS penalty was introduced in a batlance dataslate when I think Guard codex was already written therefore there is no reason the codex should mention it, and besides, why would CSM still benefit from AoC and Guard wouldn't?
@@SneakyBeeBuzzBuzz i think, but might be mistaken. That chaos had AoC in their Codex, but guard doesnt.
Those effects are AMAZING
Love this battle report. Love this channel.
This is the worst shooting I've seen from the new guard codex in any Battle report lol sorry Nick!
That being said, all them 6's to hit reminded me of why everyone likes the auto wounding rule
Spacemarine Steve would approve of Nicks rolls
2 turns of god knows how many guard shots and only a rhino dead. It hurts deep in my soul.
Epic combat. Thanks.
I mean the scenery is legendary. Great game guys we had fun watching the show
I like those little explosion pieces that light up. Idk where they got them or how they made them but it’ll be cool to see a video we’re they set those up and or make then
They are just Cotten batting and flicker lights underneath.
love it a great game. I painted a whole squad of 8 Zerkers while watching. Thats the influence of the MARK of DAVE.
